Hamburg, NY — So Well Dressed ($8.00) won the fastest of the three New York Sire Stakes divisions for 2-year-old filly pacers, each contested for approximately $35,000, on Wednesday afternoon (June 21) at Buffalo Raceway as she claimed victory over Blue Point in 1:57.2 over a fast track.

Jim Morrill Jr., who drove So Well Dressed, made it two victories in the NYSS by steering Belle Brielle to a $17.60 surprise in 1:59.2.

Camerican kicked things off in the first bracket as Ronnie Wrenn Jr. guided her to a solid 1-1/2-length decision in 1:58.2.

All 19 entrants in the Sire Stakes were making their first career starts.

So Well Dressed followed the pacesetting Blue Point (Jason Bartlett) through fractions of :30, :59.1 and 1:28.3 before rolled to the lead in the stretch and beating Blue Point by a neck. Golden Krisp (Joseph Chindano Jr.) took third.

So Well Dressed was fastest among 19 rookie pacing fillies in New York Sire Stakes action Wednesday at Buffalo.

Co-owned by trainer Janice Connor and Robert Lovett, So Well Dressed (So Surreal-Gotmydredresstnit) earned $17,950 in the first start of her career.

In the most exciting of the three dashes, Belle Brielle held on late to turn back a pesky Hunting Hula (Patrick Lachance) by a mere nose.

Hunting Hula stomped the first quarter mile in :30.3, but Belle Brielle took over the top just past the opening marker and notched times of 1:00.2 and 1:30.3. Things seemed under control for Belle Brielle before Hunting Hula appeared to get on even terms late, but the photo showed she came up just a nose short. Moderna Hanover (Bartlett) was third.

Belle Brielle completed a stakes double for driver Jim Morrill Jr. Bill Burke photos.

Trained by Bruce Clarke and co-owned by Megan Rose Beauchamp and Patricia Waldeck, Belle Brielle (American Ideal-Gianna’s Delight) took home a first-place check of $17,600.

Camerican ($3.30) sat a patient fifth but then got into high gear down the backstretch to pull away from the field. She strolled to a 1-1/2-length triumph over I’m A Believer (Jordan Stratton) while Lady Saturn (Brett Beckwith) was third.

The tandem of Fansbaby and Viceversa Bluechip showed the way through the opening half in 1:01, but the pair called it a day approaching the three-quarter pole. There, Camerican was motoring past the duo and used a :28 last panel to solidify the victory.

Trained by Ron Burke and owned by the Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi, M1 Stable and Jack Piatt III, Camerican (American Ideal-Camille) collected a $17,600 check for breaking her maiden in her first attempt.

Fox Valley Charliz ($11.20) tracked down the front-stepping Miss Rockadali to capture the $15,500 Open Pace for fillies and mares. She covered the mile in 1:56 and won by 1-1/2 lengths.
